Gather around, I've got a story to tell
                              C7
About a Manhattan lady that I know very well

She lives at five Riverside, her name is Shirley Devore
        Dm7                  G7                C7
And she travelled 'round the world to meet the guy next door

F
Well there was trouble inside apartment 29 E
                                          C7
'Cause Shirley's mother and dad were as upset as can be

They said we hate to complain dear and we don't like to grouse
          Dm7    G7             C7
But your nearly 32, you should get out of the house

You gotta ring them bells, you gotta ring them bells
                     Fmaj7         Gm7            C7
You gotta make 'em sing and really ring them bells
                                    A7     Dm
It's such a happy thing to hear 'em ting-a-ling

You gotta ring them bells

             F    Fmaj7            F6             F
Well Shirley was 31, which she was loathe to admit
                            Fmaj7           Gm7          C7
And she had never been loved, which didn't thrill her a bit

And so she sat and she thought, she thought for hours on end
              Dm7             G7              C7
And said I'll go to Chase, Manhattan, where I got me a friend

           F
And so she borrowed a thou' and called TWA
F                          Fmaj7         Gm7        C7
And told her mother and dad that she was up and away

I'm gonna travel the continent, a month, maybe two
    Dm7            G7               C7
And haul me home a hus' if it's the last thing I do

Chorus:
          F               Fmaj7      F6             F
You gotta ring them bells, you gotta ring them bells
                     Fmaj7         Gm7            C7
You gotta make 'em sing and really ring them bells
                                    A7     Dm
It's such a happy thing to hear 'em ting-a-ling
Db+       F/C  C7   F
You gotta ring them bells

Verse:
          F             Fmaj7          F6            F
She met a Londoner first, but they did not hit it off
                                Fmaj7     Gm7        C7
'Cause every time she approached he got a bronchial cough

And so she went to Madrid and met a handsome Señor
       Dm7                G7              C7
But he liked to throw the bull and he was no matador

         F                    Fmaj7    F6             F
She also bombed out in Brussells, in Mallorca and Rome
                            Fmaj7             Gm7       C7
Til' someone said: "Try Dubrovnik, dear before you go home

'Cause it's the kind of a town where you'll be likely to fall
            Dm7        G7             C7
And all the Toni Cognoscenti find the Balkans a ball"

Chorus:
          F               Fmaj7      F6             F
You gotta ring them bells, you gotta ring them bells
                     Fmaj7         Gm7            C7
You gotta make 'em sing and really ring them bells
                                    A7     Dm
It's such a happy thing to hear 'em ting-a-ling
Db+       F/C  C7   F

And so she went to Dubruvnik and the very first day
                                        C7
She met a guy on the beach who took her reason away

Yes, it was love at first sight and quite a beautiful scene
              Dm            G7
She said, "My name is Shirl Devore\
